If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.
And trans lives are grounded in reality.
We see y'all. No matter what.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

Once again I started looking at web browser alternatives after Mozilla's new CEO stated that going forward they want to make FireFox an AI first browser.
Which lead me to a browser called...Floorp. No, you didn't read that wrong.
I'm skeeting about Floorp. I've never felt older than right now.

Due to some very sad circumstances, this lovely pup Luna is now in need of a home. If you're in the Atlanta area and you're looking to bring a dog into your world, Luna would be a fantastic addition to your family. If not, please just share this for a signal boost. lifelineanimal.org/pet-details/...

i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

Every software update for anything now requires me to go searching for the Ai bullshit to turn off even if I previously turned off that bullshit. New bullshit can appear, so I much check. Every. Time.

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have.
Python foundation said no and rejected the grant.
If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.

If bluesky does go up in flames, I would like to make a suggestion: maybe try making the next social media website a different colour.
I mean, the blue probably isn't the thing driving the CEOs to madness, but it's worth checking.

I definitely bought Half-Life 2 as my first Steam game, but I guess that got superseded by The Orange Box. Puzzle Quest was so good. I also had it on the DS. It's a shame what mobile games have done to that genre.
No memory of Everyday Shooter at all.

The continued hard push of AI in every major code editor is finally going to push me to use Neovim. Time to crack open the thousand page manual on vim.

I've been playing mobile games recently to see what the current trends are. There is a baffling focus on digging up gems with pick axes, cards/sticker collection, puzzle pieces, and new type of battle pass which I think, unfortunately, we will see in AAA games eventually.

While great, I also hope this means they will finally stop using Hogwarts in their benchmark testing.
We're excited and proud to announce that Digital Foundry is now fully independent, having parted ways amicably with IGN. In this DF Direct Special, we share our thoughts and aspirations for the future of the channel: youtu.be/tl7bIJ2yu4I

Finally watched Sinners. A great movie that met expectations set by the massive levels of hype. It's depressing how far back I have to go just to remember a movie as good as Sinners.

Found myself watching Nextlander talk over the E3 2021 Nintendo direct last night before bed, and I had totally forgotten about Nintendo trying to tell people that they can't re-stream their directs.
